The purpose of these files is to define and illustrate the geographic limit and geologic boundary of the Williston Basin.
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Williston Basin is an intracratonic basin that underlies portions of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota in the United States, and Manitoba and Saskatchewan in Canada. The Williston Basin has been a top domestic oil producing region since the 1960s and is currently in the midst of a major “oil boom” triggered by the discovery of substantial reserves associated with the Devonian-Mississippian Bakken Formation, along with advances in petroleum-recovery technologies and economic incentives related to the price of oil.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
